More questions
Correct Answer: Neither I nor II follows
Explanation:
The first premise is an I type proposition. So, the middle term 'angels' forming the predicate is not distributed. The second premise is an A type proposition. So, the middle term 'angels' forming the predicate is not distributed. Since the middle term is not distributed even once in the premises, no definite conclusion follows.
Correct Answer: HGF
Explanation:
This series consists of letters in a reverse alphabetical order.
Correct Answer: Only assumption I is implicit
Explanation:
Clearly, computer education can be started at the school level only if it is easy. So, I is implicit. In the statement, nothing is mentioned about the link between jobs and computer education. So, II is not implicit.
Correct Answer: E4
Explanation:
The letters decrease by 1; the numbers are multiplied by 2.
Correct Answer: false
Explanation:
Rulers are the most expensive item.
Correct Answer: capable : inept
Explanation:
Dependable and capricious are antonyms; capable and inept are antonyms.
Correct Answer: There are cheap dresses also in that shop.
Correct Answer: Only conclusion II follows
Explanation:
Since both the premises are universal and one premise is negative, the conclusion must be universal negative and should not contain the middle term. So, only II follows.
Correct Answer: Both I and II are implicit
Explanation:
The non-provision of funds for welfare activities in the budget clearly indicates the factory's intention to not carry out such activities in the current year. So, I is implicit. Also, welfare activities cannot be carried out in organisations without the allocation of funds for the same in the budget. So, II is also implicit.
Correct Answer: Only II follows
Explanation:
Clearly, I is not practically viable. However, villagers should be rewarded for their courage, to keep up their spirits in future. Thus, II follows.
